4.0 out of 5 stars Roxy Music is the drug., April 4, 2005

H3@+h "Over 1500 reviews!" (thanks for the helpful review votes) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Roxy Music - Street Life: 20 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This collection is older, but it's 20 tracks long, and does include most of the essential Roxy/Ferry songs. Included amongst all these killer songs is "Love Is The Drug", "More Than This", "Avalon", and "Slave To Love". It would truly be impossible to fit everything on one disc, but the only things I really miss is Roxy's "Mother Of Pearl", and Ferry's "Kiss And Tell" and "Limbo". Otherwise it actually does a great job as a "best of". This being currently out of print however, you may have to hit the used stores, or deal with another "hits" album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Band, Average Compilation, August 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Roxy Music - Street Life: 20 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

This is one of the more intelligent bands of the 70s. They might have been served better if it was a Roxy only set. Editions Of You, Song For Europe, Mother of Pearl, Thrill of It All, etc should have been on this. Hopefully, they will see fit to make a Roxy Music anthology soon. This CD served its purpose when it first came out as an overview to Roxy and Bryan Ferry's career. However, with a lot of lesser bands coming out with boxed sets or anthology packages, surely Roxy deserves one now.

4.0 out of 5 stars An overall good compilation of Roxy Music's career..., August 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Roxy Music - Street Life: 20 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Though this compilation may lack a few songs (Thrill of it all being missing really makes this album lose a few points), it gives an overall good or general overview of the band's career. Though I can't say all the tracks were strong, I definitely liked Avalon and More than This. Street Life is rather interesting and I'd give a little more credit as it did include Pyjamarama which I think would be needed in any overview of this band. Not a bad compilation. I would recommend it to a few casual fans, someone who just wants a taste of Roxy Music (and Bryan Ferry), or perhaps a newbie to them.
